I have been teaching/counseling children in both the private and public school sector for over 30+ years. I most recently worked for a family for over 55 hours per week with 3 children with a variety of special challenges. I was in charge of their day including driving kids to activities, assistance with projects, making meals, cleaning up & doing laundry. In the past I worked with families with emotionally challenged kids as a crisis counselor. I am fortunate to have tremendous patience and a strong academic background in assisting in transformation with children of all ages. I love kids and find they are the real teachers. I am inspired working with kids and adding creative structures and routine to their lives. I am happy to give you a copy of my resume. I have been certified for CPR. I have a completed background check on this Care. com site. I am a certified crisis counselor to work with families with difficult emotional issues: trauma, divorce, loss, etc.
